The gospel according to Luke

Chapter 20

---

41. ειπεν δε προς αυτους πως λεγουσιν τον χριστον υιον δαυιδ ειναι Then he said to them, “How do they say that the Christ is the son of David?

42. και αυτος δαυιδ λεγει εν βιβλω ψαλμων ειπεν ο[1] κυριος τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου And[2] David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,

43. εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’

44. δαυιδ ουν κυριον αυτον καλει και πως υιος αυτου εστιν “David then calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”

45. ακουοντος δε παντος του λαου ειπεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου And as all the people were listening, he said to his[3] disciples,

46. προσεχετε απο των γραμματεων των θελοντων περιπατειν εν στολαις και φιλουντων ασπασμους εν ταις αγοραις και πρωτοκαθεδριας εν ταις συναγωγαις και πρωτοκλισιας εν τοις δειπνοις “Beware of those scribes who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the first seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;

47. οι κατεσθιουσιν τας οικιας των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχονται ουτοι ληψονται[4] περισσοτερον κριμα who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

[1] NA-Text reads “For”.

[2] NA-Text omits the definite article “ο”. Codex Sinaiticus agrees with Byzantine text on the inclusion of this article.

[3] NA-Text brackets “his” and renders “the disciple” as a possible reading. The collective witness of the majuscules, including codex Sinaiticus, the minuscules and the versions is overwhelmingly against questioning this pronoun as part of the text.

[4] NA-Text reads “λημψονται”. Same verbal tense, different spelling.
